Do you seriously even care? What would it even matter?
Yes, a lot of us care. An Apple event means they are going to be announcing/releasing something for (almost) sure.
I'd be more than happy to call your action douchey to your face...I wasn't calling you a douche at all. I have no idea the extent of your personality or character. I just think (as I mentioned, "in my opinion), that calling a hotel to try and perpetuate a rumor is a bit douchey.
Do you seriously even care? What would it even matter?
I'm so sorry for asking an Apple related question on an Apple forum. I'll be sure not to make such mistakes in the future.
Of course...I care too. The question was, "Have they ever hosted an event in Las Vegas before".
Who cares whether it's in Cupertino, Vegas, NY or whether they've done it before or not. catching a fever over rumors and what-ifs get you and I no closer to the prize. I am all about a new Macbook Pro and am gitty as a schoolboy to get one...but wouldn't be calling a hotel about it!
Hey, that's fair, and totally understandable. No hard feelings.
When the hotel confirms the rumor though, I don't really see it as a rumor anymore, but only for myself. Everybody has their own opinions on things.

So you would rather dig through 8 billion pages of people saying "Hey look, the event contact's email says SW Steakhouse on it!"?
I called to get it over with. Either the answer would be a yes or a no.

Oh yeah, I care. So I assume that you don't? It's funny because you just commented in this topic.
You misunderstood and mis-read my post...
for the second time...My point was...why would anyone care if "Apple ever hosted an event in Las Vegas before". It does nothing for what we really want. Read further before hitting the reply button and thinking that you're witty.
No, actually I'd rather just wait for the official announcement from Apple or an actual press conference.
Reread "Moore's Law" -
It really doesn't say that RAM prices will continue to fall.
More than likely, it's due to the large number of 4 GiB, 6 GiB and 8 GiB systems with 64-bit Windows 7 systems that are being sold.
Or, as an earlier poster said, "supply and demand".
If you read my original post, I was asking for confirmation that Apple was holding an event period. The question about it being in Las Vegas was an after thought.
Also, if you didn't notice, this is a discussion forum.
You're correct, great observation. I was adding to the discussion, specifically...I was asking a question.
I don't think he was perpetuating a rumor so much as attempting to confirm or deny. Not at all odd to seek facts. Or douchey, whatever douchey is.
Which is perfectly fine for you to think. That is an opinion, as was mine. Now...it'd be ok to move on. After all, I'm sure there are plenty more "They better update the 13" and "Do you think they will be available the same day" posts to come.
Fantastic. Perhaps next time you can add to the discussion in a positive manner.
There better be a 13" Macbook Pro update. If there won't be a 13" Macbook Pro, I may as well get a Macbook, since
13" Macbook costs $999 and has a 250GB hard drive
vs
13" Macbook Pro costs $1199 and has a 160GB hard drive
and both have the same processor running at the same clock speed.
Found nothing on NAB site to support this.
Perhaps others will have better luck. Please post a link if you find anything.

NAB is not relevant
Companies often have press conferences and other events at Las Vegas hotels during an event.
There's no requirement to be part of NAB to book a hotel conference room and stage an event. You're taking advantage of the fact that some potential customers are in town - NAB doesn't control Las Vegas during the event.

From the invite I assumed Apple was having this "in conjunction with" NAB, not as officially a part of NAB. A case of, "A whole bunch of people are in town for NAB, so let's nab them for a lunch hour and share new stuff."
One day is not going to kill anyone in waiting for this update. If it's Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday fine. But at least we are finally getting this update. I have been waiting since November for this because I need a computer that will still be viable in six years. So maxed out 15 inch here I come some time this weekend!!!!!!!!
Casing updates?
Besides updating to core i5/i7, anyone want to place bets on them updating the casing to replace keyboard but a gigantic touchpad with no button? Seriously though, I wonder the refresh might include a casing update so people can differentiate between an i5 and a C2D. Maybe not considering my PowerBook G4 and 2006 C2D look the same.
